Notes
Sometimes I like to use 4 Â hearts of romaine lettuce instead of iceberg. Â Same great crunch but better for you. Â I chop it in large chunks. You can also layer this salad in mini trifle dishes, clear glass canning jars, or even clear plastic cups. That way everyone gets their own salad!

Can Miracle Whip be used, or should it be real Mayo?
Hi Kim,
I like real mayo, not Miracle Whip in this recipe. I think the Miracle Whip is too sweet. -Amy
